In the long run I don’t think it will be in their interest to fail to embrace new technolody. Especially something that could become pretty significant like VoIP.

Since Microsoft won’t be shutting out 3rd-parties by requiring that apps be installed through their Marketplace (as Apple has done), Skype will be free to continue to distribute their own installer.

So really, this “ban” just means that Microsoft can continue to pretend to play nice with the carriers. Meanwhile, Skype users will still be allowed to make free phone calls over the data network. (Also, you’ll still be able to get free tethering with internet-connection sharing in Windows Mobile.)
